It's no secret, I like to paint things white.I went crazy when I saw all the WHITE Falldecor when I went to Laurie Anna's shopin Canton Texas earlier this month

All these pictures are from LaurieAnna'sblog. I've put a link below.

Of course, I came right home and startedpainting my old orange pumpkins white.

I bought two medium and two small whitepumpkins at Laurie Anna's shop.

The creamy whiteness of the pumpkinsis a perfect brownish white.

I'm planning to take one of the pumpkins down toHome Depot and have the paint department usetheir computerized equipment to color matcha quart of paint to the white color of the pumpkin.I received no compensation for this post fromLaurie Anna's or Home Depot.

Here's a pumpkin I painted next to two little onesfrom Laurie Anna's. You can see how whitethe one I painted is compared to the two smallerones I bought at Laurie Anna's.

All that's needed is a sample the size of a quarter and they can match any color for you.I'm sure other places can do it too, I'm justfamiliar with Home Depot's process.Once, to match an old wall color, we took a smallpiece of the wall out of a corner of a closet.The touch-up paint matched perfect.

I've also had Home Depot color match paintto a yellow sweatshirt and a towel that was the prettiestshade of brown. They put the fabric right on theequipment and it turned out perfect too.Check out LaurieAnna's here:
